Undergraduate Credit

A maximum of 24 semester units of Open University baccalaureate-level credit may be
applied toward bachelor’s degree requirements at San José State University. However,

or minor. Further information may be obtained from the SJSU Catalog available online
at http://info.sjsu.edu/home/catalog.html. Units earned in Open University courses do not meet degree residence requirements.

Graduate Credit

You may not apply more than 30% of the total Open University credit or credit transferred
from another university – in any approved combination; e.g. for 30 units Master degree,
you may not apply more than 9 units. However, each department decides whether a particular
course will be accepted toward a major or minor. Further information may be obtained
from the SJSU Catalog available online at http://info.sjsu.edu/home/catalog.html.

You should meet with the Undergraduate or Graduate Advisor of the department where
you are pursuing a degree to make sure the course(s) you are taking count toward your
degree/program.

"AU" - Auditing a Class

Enrollment as an auditor is subject to the permission of the instructor provided that
enrollment in a course as an auditor shall be permitted only after students otherwise
eligible to enroll on a credit basis have had an opportunity to do so. Auditors are
subject to the same fee structure as credit students and regular class attendance
is expected.

Once enrolled as an auditor, a student may not change to credit status unless such
a change is requested no later than the last day to add classes. Auditors must be
officially registered in the course before choosing the audit grade option.
